Matthew's POV

I tossed my phone aside in rage. My entire body was bubbling with anger, and despite my efforts to keep my emotions concealed, they spilled over.

Alexander was definitely brave, I had to give that to him. Unlike his father, he definitely had some backbone, and I was certain now that it wouldn't be easy to break him. But it was something I had to do, a promise I must keep. However, at the moment, there wasn't much I could do. Thanks to an important business, I haven't been able to keep my attention on Logan and his son. I basically had no information on Alexander at the moment, and if it weren't for his father, I wouldn't even know that he had gotten his leg surgery.

But now, Alexander had left home, and according to Logan he had bought property in a place he really didn't know. Aside from that, I was completely in the dark when it came to Alexander.

Clenching my fists in rage, I sent the vase on the table flying and crashing into the wall with a kick. Those two were d

    Matthew's POV "We both know killing me won't be beneficial to either of us. My people are aware that I've come here. If I'm not to return, be certain that there will be consequences." "You're brave to make threats even in your condition, brat!" Logan cursed before gesturing for his security team to lower their guns. He knew better than I that he wouldn't make it out unscathed if he harmed me. "So what are you here for? Make it snappy." "I'm sure you're already aware of the reasons for my visit. But if you're really daft, then allow me to refresh your memory. Your son is walking again, you've broken the terms of our agreement, and I'm sure you're prepared for what will come next." I said with a tone that perfectly mirrored the rage I was feeling at that moment. I didn't care whether or not his men were still around. He had broken a promise he made to my father, and I needed a good explanation to not immediately kill his son for that betrayal. "You think I can control a grown man?"

    Heather's POV Although Alexander couldn't properly walk yet, modeling agencies had already begun to call and harass him for jobs again. He hadn't accepted any yet, but I was sure it wouldn't be long before he did so. He could walk up and down the stairs now without any problems, and could jug for short amounts of time. He wasn't back to full health, but it was clear that he was making great improvements.Although Alexander was happy that he was getting deals after everything that had happened, we still had no idea how news of his surgery had gotten out to the public. It was in front of every newspaper and big magazine, and his phone wouldn't stop buzzing from all the girls and companies trying to reach out to him. At first we had thought Dr Harrington was the snitch, but Alexander figured it was either his father or Mathew who had pulled this stunt. Although all the attention was a bit sickening, I was happy for Alexander most of the time. We might not be couples at the moment, but

    Alexander's POV Although my blood was boiling, I remained calm, maintaining a steady smile as I continued my discussion with Rose. One thing was certain, and that was the fact that I was never going to work with her establishment no matter how much they had to offer. She had crossed a line, and I didn't care if she didn't know that Heather was my wife or not. Her reaction was simply too abrasive, and was not one that I could condone.With a smile on her face, Rose reached for my hand on the table and squeezed it gently. "I'm glad you can walk again, perhaps we can celebrate over dinner tonight?" Rose offered, squeezing Alexander's hands a bit tighter. I pulled my hand away gently but firmly, my smile faltering just enough to let her know I wasn’t interested. “I appreciate the offer, Rose, but I’ll have to decline. My schedule is already packed.”Her smile tightened, but she didn’t let it drop. “You’re always so busy, Alexander. Surely you can spare a little time for an old friend. E

    Alexander's POV "It's been a while, Alex. How have you been?" Cynthia inquired in her calm soothing voice. I didn't reply immediately, I was far too stunned to reply as quickly as I should have. How did she get my number? Why was she calling? What was going on? My thoughts were a chaotic mess as I stared at my phone, unsure of how to react to the shock of hearing her voice. "Alex?" she prompted, her voice pulling me back to the present, and only then did I realize that I might have been silent for a little too long. I cleared my throat, trying to steady myself. "Cynthia... it's unexpected to hear from you. I've been well, you?" "Well? Surely that's not all," she said with a small laugh that was all too familiar to my memories. "You did just regain your ability to walk after a year, Alex." "Oh," I said, trying my best to sound calm and collected even though I was anything but. My years of experience in hiding my true feelings helped me manage that. "You heard about that too?"

  • The Billionaire's Secret Wife   018: An Old Lover II

    Alexander's POV I perused through the collection of luxurious suits on the revolving display stand within the closet of my large bedroom. There were all styles and brands among them, each one costing well over tens of thousands of dollars. These were the finest clothes money could buy in the city and yet for some reason, I could not get myself to settle down well enough to select one. "Damnit," I cursed quietly under my breath as I left the closet and pointed at one of the maids standing demurely at the corner of the room. "You there, go into that closet and pick out something good for me." The maid seemed visibly surprised to be given such a task but at expected from one of the professionals I had hired, she did not voice a single complaint as she went on to carry out the instruction. I waved a hand for another maid to come over as I settled down in the comfortable loveseat. She was carrying a silver tray laden with a sparkling bottle of chilled ginger ale and a shot glass. Upo

    Alexander's POV I did not realize I had frozen until I felt my blood rushing through my ears due to a lack of oxygen flowing into my body. It was as if the air had suddenly gotten three times denser than normal, making it hard to breathe. As I slowly regained the ability to inhale and exhale, I realized that my right knee was shaking a little under the table. With a subtle movement, I placed a hand over it to still the limb. I was glad I had not picked up anything from the moment I arrived here, because it would have most likely dropped from my hand a few seconds ago. Staring at the beautiful lady seated across me, I could not figure out what the hell her game plan was. What did she mean by her words? How could she want us to get back together especially after the disastrous end of our last relationship? What was that supposed to mean? "Alex?" Cynthia called out after I had remained silent for too long. There was a subtle vulnerability in her voice that almost managed to surpri

    Matthew's POV As a leader of a cartel, there was very little I could not have access to whenever I wanted. Women, money, wealth, there was no limit to the pleasures I could obtain. But at the end of the day, there was something that mattered far more to a man than all of that. Respect was something that could not be bought. It had to be earned, and I had gotten mine through blood and fear. I leaned back in the massive luxurious velvet sofa, hoping to enjoy the show that was currently being put on solely for my viewing pleasure. As I reclined back, several soft hands drifted across my bare chest, caressing my skin with expert seductiveness. My arms automatically extended to wrap around the two closest women at my sides before sliding down to touch them. Even though I felt absolutely nothing for them, they were very much aesthetically pleasant, pretty faces complete with curvy figures dressed in scandalously risque clothes.

    Heather's POV I wiped down the marble counter of the kitchen for the umpteenth time, until I was finally able to see the reflection of the ceiling on its glistening surface. Looking around the rest of the kitchen which I had spent a majority of the past hour and a half cleaning, I smiled a little at the minor sense of accomplishment that rose within me at that. That did not last long though, once I remembered that I should not really be doing this after all. I was supposed to be the wife of this house, not one of the help. But circumstances had seemed to decide otherwise and my husband himself had agreed with it. I was not always upset with the situation, but every once in a while, I wondered what it would be like if I never had to deal with any of this.

    Heather's POV I let the curtain fall and quickly moved to hide behind the wall the moment Alex's gaze nearly fell on me. My heart was still pounding in my chest, thanks to the unplanned moment we had a few minutes ago. I could still feel the slight tingles left over from then running through my body. It had come as a surprise to me, partly because I was still in a terrible mood with all that had been going on, but mostly because I had not really expected Alex to still have such interest towards me. The man was a notorious playboy, and he had the looks, money and charm to attract any lady he wanted. There was no doubt that he had been playing around with people far higher in value than I was, but for some reason he had continued to turn his sights on me. There was another problem in the picture still. Even though I had tried, I could not remove my mind from thinking about how Alex had gotten that lipstick on his cheek the other night. After he had gotten his ability to walk bac

    Heather's POV I had a strong feeling that Cynthia hadn't left even after she exited the restaurant, and I had been correct. The moment I was done with Matt, she had appeared out of nowhere and had intercepted my path. "What?!" I snapped at her angrily. I knew what she was up to, and I was in no mood to play those games with her. "So when were you going to tell Alex about your hot friend?" Cynthia asked just like I had expected she would. She crossed her arms dramatically, a sly grin slowly spreading across her face. Her tone was full of mockery, and I knew she wasn't going to leave me alone unless I said something to her. “I do not owe you an explanation about who I have lunch with,” I replied curtly, but Cynthia wasn't going to leave me alone. "Then perhaps I should tell Alex that I saw you having lunch with a handsome man. You two seemed to be getting along quite well, it's a good thing I got a video of your precious moments."

    Alexander's POV The last thing I had expected to hear when I got up from bed was the fact that Cynthia could be a serial killer. This practically just told me that I had no idea who Cynthia really was, and it genuinely terrified me. But then again, there was a solid possibility that this man was lying. I highly doubted that he was being dishonest, but that was simply not enough to prove that he was lying. "You do not seriously think that I'll believe you, do you? I've only known you for like five minutes, and you expect me to believe that someone I've known for years is a mass murderer of old men?" I challenged, crossing my arms and staring Maxwell down. My voice was steady, but internally, I was grappling with a storm of doubt. As much as I wanted to dismiss his claim outright, there was no denying that Cynthia had definitely changed. She had many connections, and was bigger than I had imagined over the course of a year. I never really questioned her about her means of surviv

    Alexander's POV I stared at Heather with stunned eyes, unsure of how to react to what she had told me. I suspected that something like that might be going on, but I never really imagined that it would be true. "It wasn't anything serious, I think he just missed my cheeks by accident." Heather explained in a rather frantic voice after she caught the look on my face. I knew for certain that he hadn't missed her cheeks by accident, and I knew that it was definitely something serious for whoever this Matt guy is. Heather might not take it seriously, if she was really committed to the relationship, I was certain she wouldn't let me know. However, I couldn't say the same for Matt who had no idea that Heather was married. "It..it's fine, Heather, I'm not mad at you." I finally replied after a full minute of silence. She had worked up the courage to tell me, and I was really grateful for that. At least she was better than me who couldn't even think of approaching her with the truth
